10th Hussars Trooper.... interesting!
Hi All
Here is a 10th Hussars Trooper...... but whats he wearing (shoulders) and why? Also..... is the photo the right way round? .... or is he wearing the Lanyard on that shoulder because of the other thing (aguilette)? Period :- Great War?

Boy bandsman in my opinion. Aguilettes for junior ranks in the Corps of Hussars would only be worn with ceremonials except where approved by the colonel. My opinion on this would be that the entire band would be wearing this arrangement of cords.
The positioning of lanyards wouldn't be affected by the wearing of aguilettes. The 10th obviously wore their lanyards over the right shoulder.

I think you are right about the Lanyard position

 Lanyards aren't usually worn with ceremonials when aguilettes are worn. The reason for the odd juxtaposition in the pictures is simply because some colonel gave permission for aguilettes to be worn with service dress. It's just an affectation.

The other interesting thing is that both photos are from the same Great War period and collars and badges are different.... showing the "mixed" maker varients being worn

A friend confused the 10th Hussar image for a DHY Bandsman.... I corrected him. He gave the image file its name.
